For World PT Day 2021 the Singapore Physiotherapy Association (SPA) advocated for physical activity and exercise as they adapt to the 'new normal'. This is also in tandem with the latest World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines on Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour published in 2020.
The theme 'Get Up! Get Active' aimed to get Singaporeans to stay active yet safe during this pandemic. They also addressed the issue of Long Covid, reflecting the main focus for World Physiotherapy this year.
The association also continues to advocate for the role of physiotherapy in various aspects of our lives and encourages people to 'Choose Physio'. Through this campaign, the association hopes to highlight the unique and diverse roles that physiotherapists play across different populations.
